WARNING FACTORY RICE AHEAD
There, thats should keep the post about the big wings to a minimal. That said its pretty cool to see Honda and Nissan build more track orientated models of their RWD cars.
S2000 CR
“The result of these changes is a claimed two-second reduction in the S2000 CR’s lap time around Honda’s Tochigi test track. That’s a huge difference; you could add 50 horsepower to a regular S2000 and you might not see your lap time drop that much.”

Nismo 350Z
"It’s, um, rather easy to tell the NISMO Z from the stock model, thanks to a downright shocking aero package featuring an aggressive front fascia with a racing-style chin spoiler, smoothed front corners, skinny fender lips, and side skirts. In back, it gets worse, with an obnoxious rear fascia with a functional air diffuser (how could something that big not be functional?) and, of course, a double-decker rear wing.
Performance improvements for the NISMO Z include a lowered suspension, Brembo brakes, a NISMO exhaust, and super-sexy NISMO gray five-spoke forged-alloy wheels (9.0-by-18-inch front, 10.0-by-19-inch rear) wearing Bridgestone Potenza RE050A tires."
i like the s2k. sits real high tho, needs to be dropped on its nuts.
i hate that front bumper on the S2000
add the mugen civic Si 4dr to the list.
500 available in the US @ honda dealers.
price = high 20’s
Given all the OEM tune options Nismo offers for the Z, I wonder what they used to justify that rediculous aero package. Performance-wise Nismo isn’t know for half-stepping.
I can almost stand the front end and wing on the Z, but gawdam is that rear diffuser aweful! The s2k does nothing for me either styling wise.
A good looking s2k from spoon.
Yea I knew the wings would due this thread in haha. I don’t think I’d mind the S2000 as much if they had gone with different colors other than a pastel blue outside and yellow accented inside. hayabusa03rx does have a point that aero parts are proven on S2000’s by lots of tuners. Anywho, two cars I should let loose here I didn’t post originally.
New Impreza gets a multilink rear suspension and steals its looks from a Mazda 3 and Toyota Corolla
We all knew the M3 was comming. It has a lighter motor that makes more power, CF roof, electronic adjustable suspension, and other things that rock.
Lotta ugly stuff coming out…Though I’ve always liked the Impreza and who can possibly argue with something that says M on it?
like the s2k but they need some better colors, curious what the price will be. I went to a dealer the other day to ask them about it and the best answer I got was that it wont be out till '09 so i just kinda chuckled to myself and left.
